Inventor: MAYER WILLIAM J
IPC: B01F35/60
Filed: 2002-10-21
Abstract: Method and apparatus for sorting and dispensing articles, one at a time, from the bottom of a stack of like articles. The articles are yieldably supported in at least one upright stack above an outlet, e.g. a resilient choke, sized to pass the articles if forced therethrough. Articles are dispensed by pressing downwardly on the stack with sufficient force and for sufficient duration to overcome the yieldable supporting force and move the lowest article through the outlet. Sensors may be provided for sensing when an article is dispensed, when the tube is empty, and the type of article in the holder. The method and apparatus are especially useful in a vial-based automated system for processing multiple specimens of biological fluid, wherein a filter assembly must be dispensed into a filtration chamber associated with each specimen vial.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des procédés de dosage mettant en jeu des réactions de liaison spécifique qui sont simplifiées par rapport aux procédés connus. Un composé pouvant produire une chimioluminescence est immobilisé sur un support solide comme l'est un élément d'une paire de liaison spécifique pour capturer un analyte à partir d'un échantillon. Un composé activateur qui active le composé chimioluminescent et est conjugué à un élément de paire de liaison spécifique est ajouté en excédent au même titre que l'échantillon au support solide. L'ajout d'une solution d'amorçage entraîne une réaction chimioluminescente au niveau des sites où le conjugué activateur a été spécifiquement lié. Les procédés de dosage sont dénommés dosages sans séparation du fait qu'ils ne requièrent pas l'élimination ou la séparation d'une étiquette de détection excédentaire (conjugué activateur) avant l'étape de détection. Les procédés sont applicables à divers types de dosage comprenant les dosages immunologiques, les dosages récepteur-ligand et les dosages de l'hybridation de l'acide nucléique.
